This version is a trial version of Dali Renderer. The renderer contains all features. The only restriction is a cross-watermark that will be added to final picture if rendering lasts longer than 30 minutes.

You can purchase Dali Renderer at Autodesk Store. This includes 30-day free period for evaluation:
